Application filed November 1, 1907. Serial No. 400,148.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, RICHARD AUSTEN ROGERS, engineer, of Station avenue, and FRANK OANTELO, ironmonger, of 81 High street, both of Sandown, Isle of Wight, in the county of Hampshire, in England, subjects of the King of Great Britain, have invented a new Improved VVindage B ack-Sight for Rifles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the back-sight of service or other rifles, and has for its object to provide for windage. To obtain this, the

drawings, which works on the leaf 6, to give the elevation, is made in two sections, which are held together by dovetailing or by any other means. The joint being on the top side of the leaf 6. Between these two sections, a lateral sliding piece 0 is placed, a

channel d being cut for this purpose, running j the entire length of the slide a.

To allow for the sliding piecec to be moved, slots 6 are cut in the upper section, and, di-

2, of the accompanying rectly over the sliding piece 0, on which pinsf are fixed, and passing through the slots, with suflicient projection, to allow same to be moved.

What We do claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination in a windage back-sight l for rifles, with a sight leaf 1), a slide block vertically movable thereon, a sight plate carried by the slide block and laterally adjustable thereon, and a slotted retaining plate secured to the slide block over the sight plate to hold the latter in place, with projections extending from the sight plate through the slots of the retaining plate for effecting adjustment, substantially as described.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands in presence of two witnesses.
